The autonomous region of Southwest China, known as Tibet, should receive a record number of tourists this year. Local tourism officials are optimistic and expect 10 million inbound travelers.
The tourists should inject more than 12 billion yuan, the equivalent of 1.89 billion dollars (U.S.), which is an important seventeen percent of the Tibetan annual gross domestic product. This predicted calculation was stated by the head of the region's tourism bureau.
Already more than 7 million tourists, both domestic and foreign, have visited the region during the period from January 2012 through the end of August. This is an impressive increase of over 25 percent, compared to the same period in the previous year. Revenue from this increase in tourist visitors grew even more, to 30 percent, compared to the same period in the previous year.
